I see the UK government is going to put in place stiff fines for companies that trouble people with unsolicited marketing phone calls, especially Ex-Directory numbers and those on the Telephone Preference Service list. 'Blooming good n' all' as they say here in Norfolk! We're getting that blinking 'Eco boiler' number ringing us again. They try and tell you you can have a 'free' new boiler installed. But it's only for those on a very limited income, and we don't qualify anyway, so I can't imagine what their game REALLY is. Sometimes there's only silence when one lifts up the phone, so they must be random-dialling. But their number is always the same (01603 390115) which is Norwich-based. We have caller display, so we don't bother to pick up now.
